Isn’t south africa doing the right thing this time around? Something about “we know an apartheid state when we see one”.

I don’t think you’d want to tie your ability to cool the reactor to outside air temperatures. Bodies of water do warm up, but are generally a much better “ultimate heat sink”.
You’re concerned about a cooling tower that literally just evaporates water? You realize those aren’t nuclear specific?
One would almost suggest making it easier to commit fraud is a feature, not a bug.
That is a lot of words to say “I’m okay with a trump presidency”
Because the american political system is hot garbage, and not voting risks something way worse.
“Socialism will transition to communism” is just a communism thing. Social democracy is different. It doesn’t involve communism. Because communism is cringe.
Because exclusively that’s the communist viewpoint. There are different socialist ideologies than communism. It’s a rectangle vs square situation.
That’s neither exclusive to communism nor has it been achieved in most purportedly communist states (I hear Vietnam’s actually been having a good run of things but I can’t speak to specifics).
Socialism != communism.
They’re mask off on hexbear/lemmygrad, they try to be subversive on lemmy.ml. I have in fact instance blocked the first two, you can usually dodge them on .ml. Lemmy is far less enjoyable if you have not blocked them.
Commune-ism sounds like a lovely idea on a small scale, you gotta solve a lot of political problems to make it work on anything bigger. Social democracies like the scandinavians seem to be the best way we currently know to run a humanitarian society.
“America does bad things, so I should support china/russia instead!”
“Stalin/mao were (anything besides utterly reprehensible dictators)”
“Communism could’ve worked if-“
Honorable mention to thinking this coy “I’m going to act all hyper respectful and yet also like I know more than anyone about anything” bullshit gets you anywhere.
Why would they design it to be any better if you’re still willing to pay for it?
If only there were people desperate for a better life here, alive now, perhaps in a neighboring country or even entire other continent bordering the states.
As someone who’s played their fair share of assorted DnD systems, 5E has a number of issues that really hold it back. For instance, you’re not really supposed to long rest between every fight, but how do you tell players that without a proper DM? It’s a very weak mechanic that’s apparently too iconic to have just axed.
Don’t get me wrong, 5E works better at what it’s supposed to - easily accessible and relatively low math tabletop roleplay. But a computer can do so much more.
Op sounds less surprised more disappointed.
the Malvinas were colonized for resources
What resources do the Falklands have exactly? Fucking fish?
It was a convenient and well situated naval base historically, and now is perfectly able to declare independence if the population so wishes -the falklands just, shockingly, overall benefit from being a part of a larger and richer national entity.
Essequibo was disputed in colonial times, with the dispute being settled by an international tribunal. First it was about gold, now it’s about oil.
It’s a lot more likely a US citizen was raised in/has family in a small Canadian town though.
My reddit account has just shy of 100k comment karma and less than 2k link karma, and I still got the message.
I marked it as spam for “unsolicited messaging” lmao
